Project Management
A significant part of my career has been involved with project management. Project management experiences at Liverpool John Moores University, NHS Executive NW, Doncaster Health Authority, Blackpool, Wyre & Fylde Community Health Services NHS Trust and the NHS in Cheshire have all called for working flexibly in managing multiple tasks, embracing both operational and strategic matters. Collectively, these experiences have called for an organised, analytical approach in determining priorities and coordinating resources.
